That's the problem all right. Parents need to be consistent and present a united front. She's undermining everything you are attempting to acheive. Is she a remotely reasonable person? Have you guys attempted to discuss this with her? If the kid is getting delicious junk food at her place, he won't eat healthy stuff at yours.

Will he eat spaghetti with red sauce? You can hide a lot of stuff (blended cooked vegetables) in the red sauce.
